    It's soon coming around :D

    As usual, we'll be producing the railway's Gala DVD. More details will be printed inside the timetable booklet for the gala and copies have already been ordered by the railway.

    Few questions to answer there!

    Times at present are 8:30am - 3pm (ish might yet b e 3.30pm)
    Ill enquire with the cook as to whether she would do breakfasts all day, or whether she is going to cook to times.
    The food in the Exhibition shed is Sat and Sun only - the cook will be Jessica who was featured on the BBC2 "indian cooking made easy" programme.

    For those attending friday, I am trying to arrange a cook for the RB, to do butties and such likes, however all our usual station buffets will be open and can serve hot food.

    Shame about the Ivatt. Still, this is gonna be a cracker! Those double-headed fives'll be bloomin' loud comin' outta Keighley! I do hope the weather's not too bad. It sounds like my house is about to blow down at the moment!

    Looking at this map, use the footpath that crosses the tunnel which starts from the bottom of the hill on the road into Oakworth.
    About half way over the tunnel there is a well used entrance on your right which climbs up, be careful at this time of year i've ended up covered in mud on several occasions. Walk ahead and you get a view of the curve Such as this (Not my image, taken from Google Images).

    The usual shot that most people use here (3rd shot down) is in the farmers field, however the farmer doesn't like photographers being in the field and several trees were planted a couple of years ago to stop photographers in years to come...

    Considering the public subsidies that farmers get from the taxpayer, a bit less arrogance and miserableism would be appreciated. But photographers have often been their own worst enemies.

    Putting politics to one side, the Ivatt would have been a nice reminder of those 1968 days, but the prospect of a Jinty working whole line services, especially if alone, is no poor substitute! And 2 Black Fives at large will give the gala a very authentic look.

    What on earth has getting subsidies got to do with photographers walking over farmers land, usually without permission. It is the photographer that is the arrogant one, not the farmer.

    I've never got why farmers don't say 'ok you can come in my field if you pay £1 each', then everyone is a winner!

    Will £1 per person pay for all the crops damaged by the photographer that he can't sell?

    44767 is fitted with plates, currently sat in Haworth shed.
    Had a couple of people ask, slacks at he present time are at Bridge 18, (half way between Mythomes tunnel and Oakworth), so engines will not power over that as a rule of thumb

    I guess you don't know the geography, as there are no fields with crops around KWVR, all gracing area's, often with no live stock. I can not help thing the farmer who own the possibly the most famous railway spot in the country next to the tunnel is missing a trick, after all Harwarth is a major tourist attraction and the location would be so easy to set up a small partitioned path and charge a small fee all year round along the line of people visiting the film location. All he would loose is a small part of the field. Trouble is most farmer's, not all, are very much set in their ways,ITS MINE! He would make a lot more than what he does now.

    Only one I can think of who is sensible is the one at Llangollan.

    Aye, until Mr. and Mrs. Normal (possibly american tourists visiting Haworth, to complete the stereotype) take a walk along it, trip and sprain an ankle, and "sue his house off"*.

    * Accent translated from American into Yorkshire. Well, more Geordie really, but it sort of works.
